The primary focus of my research is to develop intervention and prevention programs for children with or at risk for attention, learning, and behavior problems. Much of my research focuses on children with ADHD. Our work is characterized by the strengthening and linking of systems of care, in particular the school, family, and primary care systems. In the context of our intervention and prevention research, we have developed and validated several measures.

Our research is strongly influenced by developmental-ecological (systems) theory, social learning theory, and attachment theory.

Our group is highly committed to applying the principles of participatory action research to develop programs and evaluate acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness. Also, our team has been dedicated to the development of methods to assess integrity and engagement using a multi-dimensional framework.
